..this is what I've been told, the regulars get good food.

Shouldn't they look after every customer ???

Yes they should or its descrimination IMO.

There is a lot of types of Chinese dishes not just fried rice, lemon chicken and dim sums... LOL!

So lets say your Asian they probley give you the menu with more 'Traditional' dishes and if your Western they give you the menu with a more Westernised/Asian dishes / flavours.

But hey, if you know what your ordering and know of many traditional Asian dishes, then go right ahead and order it and they will give it to you. They probley be quite suprised if you did know and more than happy to prepare and serve it to you.

For example there is a fish dish where it is deep fried fillets in batter mixed with a sweet corn soup type of sauce, I guess that would be more appealing to Western customers as opposed to an entire steamed fish where the head, tail, and bones are left and you pick the meat off, dip it in soya sauce and eat it would be a more traditional dish.

Yes Iam serious, we Asian steam a whole fish and eat the meat out of the cheeks / head and there is a bit of meat towards the end before the tail. LMAO!!!

But I have seen western ppl order and eat the same dish. So if you know what you want just order it and they give it to you.

you gotta be a regular to appreciate it.

whenever i walk in the dude's already written down pork ribs with spicy salt and mixed fried rice on his piece of paper. and the food... well at 3am nothing tastes better.

Its not the best food, and to be honest if you're a Evo driving yuppie you'll never come back once you've eaten there... and it's probably better kept that way too. But for a night with the lads its a decent meal, and a good setting for a fortnightly catchup.

Anything tastes good @ 3am :D

But we just went in there, ordered, it was average.

I could name a dozen places in the CBD as i eat Asian about 3-4 times a week that are all better than RK :D

Agree 100%

It doesnt claim to be the best restaurant in Melbourne. Its not aiming at the elite clientele, and doesnt boast how good its sevice is.

What it does do is offer a decent feed for a fair price. I know that each time i go there, I get a seat, my Chinese tea and a BBQ Pork on Rice for like $8.50. I have never had a bad meal there, but i dont expect it to be absolutely the most amazing meal ever either!

When i recommend it, its because its BYO, you can get a table for 12 people and you can have a good feed for under $20 per head

hahahaa i lvoed the "strangely incongruous glass chandelier looks like its brother might have been smashed by a Jackie Chan roundhouse kick in one of his earlier Hong Kong movies"

lol

china bar box hill know my usual meal, better than RK IMO... need good asian in malvern/toorak, found a good indian place, they know our order ;)

Sun Luk is my favourite in the Malvern area. Not cheap like China Bar, but it's good

Penang Affair on Brunswick St is f**kING AWESOME... spiderbait wrote a song about it :huh:

Haha, Ask Roy about that place. It used to be 5 minutes from our office untill we moved. He still yammers on about that place. Pete or something is the owner yeah?

Red Emperor...Melbourne's best.

I eat there everytime im down there.

Never disapointed.

Weekday lunchtime, all you can eat Yum Cha... best $$$ you will ever spend!

Pacific House on Victoria St is the place to go for duck IMO... there is one on Toorak Rd as well but its just not as... authentic

    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
